Can from Hoptimism. Is that spruce? A sappy resinous aroma. Opaque hazy amber. Thick foamy white head. Light sour. Tangy. A sweet edge. Boozy fruit syrup. Takes on a citrus flava. Thick bodied. Creamy. Sticky. AverageAverage-fizzy carbonation. Dry and a touch astringent. Big thick fruity IPA. Not sure how much the spruce contributes to the final beer but certainly enjoyable.

Can from Voldby. Clear amber with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, caramel, heavy herbal and light hoppy - pine. Flavor is quite sweet and rather bitter. Sweet and rather bitter finish with warming alcohol. Oily and soft. Strange for sure, but I kind of like it. 170320

Tap@Taphouse, Copenhagen (23/01/2020) - hazed golden amber with a white head. Fruity and malty with lots of prominent herbal foliage, notes of spruce, pine, floral and herbal accents against a sweet malty backbone, more spruce and herbal floral piney notes into the close.
